OMIA:001401-9913 : Waardenburg syndrome, type 2A in Bos taurus (taurine cattle) |
In other species: pig , golden hamster
Categories: Pigmentation phene
Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 193510 (trait) , 156845 (gene)
Mendelian trait/disorder: yes
Mode of inheritance: Autosomal dominant
Disease-related: unknown
Key variant known: yes
Year key variant first reported: 2023
Species-specific name: white coat colour
Species-specific description: see also OMIA:000214-9913 Coat colour, white spotting; OMIA:001680-9913 Coat colour, dominant white with bilateral deafness; and OMIA:001931-9913 Depigmentation associated with microphthalmia for other phenes due to MITF variants in cattle.
Molecular basis: Petersen et al. (2023): "whole-genome sequencing was conducted on the trio of individuals. A [de-novo] 3-bp in-frame deletion in MITF was identified; this mutation was unique to the calf but identical to the delR217 variant reported in both humans and murine models of Waardenburg syndrome type 2A and Tietz syndrome."
Clinical features: Petersen et al. (2023): "A white calf, with minimal pigmented markings, was born to two registered Black Angus parents. ... The breeders of this Angus calf reported no indication that his hearing or eyesight was impaired ... . However, no formal clinical evaluation of auditory or ocular systems was conducted."
Breed:
Angus (Cattle) (VBO_0000104).

Variants
By default, variants are sorted chronologically by year of publication, to provide a historical perspective.
Readers can re-sort on any column by clicking on the column header. Click it again to sort in a descending
order. To create a multiple-field sort, hold down Shift while clicking on the second, third etc relevant column
headers.
WARNING! Inclusion of a variant in this table does not automatically mean that it should be used for DNA testing. Anyone contemplating the use of any of these variants for DNA testing should examine critically the relevant evidence (especially in breeds other than the breed in which the variant was first described). If it is decided to proceed, the location and orientation of the variant sequence should be checked very carefully.
Since October 2021, OMIA includes a semiautomated lift-over pipeline to facilitate updates of genomic positions to a recent reference genome position. These changes to genomic positions are not always reflected in the ‘acknowledgements’ or ‘verbal description’ fields in this table.
